6. When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were seized with alarm and struck with fear.
7. But Jesus came and touched them and said, Get up, and do not be afraid.
8. And when they raised their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.
9. And as they were going down the mountain, Jesus cautioned and commanded them, Do not mention to anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.
10. The disciples asked Him, Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?
11. He replied, Elijah does come and will get everything restored and ready.
12. But I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know or recognize him, but did to him as they liked. So also the Son of Man is going to be treated and suffer at their hands.
13. Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them about John the Baptist. [Mal. 4:5.]
14. And when they approached the multitude, a man came up to Him, kneeling before Him and saying,
15. Lord, do pity and have mercy on my son, for he has epilepsy (is moonstruck) and he suffers terribly; for frequently he falls into the fire and many times into the water.
16. And I brought him to Your disciples, and they were not able to cure him.
17. And Jesus answered, O you unbelieving (warped, wayward, rebellious) and thoroughly perverse generation! How long am I to remain with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to Me.
18. And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was cured instantly.
